php header redirect = error in Internet Explorer

jasondavis

my members of my site have been complaining lately of after posting comments and stuff on my site that they get a blank error page, so today I investigated moire to see what was going on, it seems it only happens in internet explorer

example

<?PHP
$msg='Thanks for rating';
$_SESSION['sess_msg']=$msg;
header("location: $SITE_PATH/?p=profile&userid=$t");
?>

after posting to my scvript the code avove is used to send them back, once they get sent back it shows this in the URL

http://www.mysite.com/?p=profile&userid=2

so the redirect works but this page is just shows an error like this from my browser

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

I get the same result if I use

echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.mysite.com/?p=profile&userid=' . $t . '">';

Is profile supposed to be the word profile or a variable (i.e. $profile) ?

I don't believe this will work as it does not point to a page...

maybe "http://www.mysite.com/index.php?p=profile&userid=$t" would be more appropriate.... you need to have a page name I believe.

Actually, that'll default to his default index page, most likely index.php, so they are the same. IE could just be acting retarded, but that's probably not the issue. jason, do you send any other headers on either page?
